If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you're gonna do? Would spend it all at once? Would you share it with your relatives and friends? Or are you the type who plans and spends their money wisely?

First I'd buy my family a house and maybe me a smaller one. I think that most of the money should be used carefully. And I want to save some of it for bills and stuff. And of course a portion will go to several charities, that's important to me. Plus I want a lot of electronics for my own personal use. A hi-tech computer would be nice.

Well, after I woke up from fainting, I would pay off all of my bills first. Then I would buy a better car and a nice house. After that I would put a big chunk of it in savings. I think I would share some of it with immediate family, but not give some to everybody on every branch of the family tree.

Well this would surely be a dream come true for me and my family. Because I have been disabled for 22 years and on a very fixed income. I would first pay off my bills, and my familys. Then I would buy the beach house I have always dreamed of, and get a new car. I would take a trip around the world. I would buy a business for my family to run.Then I would invest the rest.

chai first I would split the money with my son, pay off our rent for several months, pay for a new car for my son and drivers lessons for him. then i would build a notary of public business for myself. restof the money would be banked to live on the interest for us both. We would look into buying a house and quit the d amned renting. thats all ifs ,its seldom come true.

well, you'll never know. I'd do the same thing buy this house and a new house for me & my family, rent out the other house then open an account and give each of my family a portion of my winnings. then maybe i would put up a small grocery store or car rental maybe both. I also want to invest my money in a small events company. It would be so much fun to produce your own shows. I love theater, so maybe I'll build myself a theater venue and produce plays, musicals, ballet or maybe a cirque du soliel type of shows. I would also rent out my theater for local and international events. ahh...i love day dreaming. hihihi. :)

I would pay off my family's debts and that would suck up about 40,000 of it. Then I'd buy a new car, buy a house and put the rest in a high interest savings account. (After buying a nice new wardrobe, of course).
